Average 69 percent connection rate when you look at the country as a whole slightly higher in california but lower than San Francisco. Fred can i ask you this is based on surveys and commonly surveys leave out Homeless People maybe immigrant populations and lower income populations so is it possible that its a large under count. Its certainly possible certain segments of the population are probably less well represented. Thank you and is the survey conducted in english only . I can they have mul...

Rate has fallen dramatically here and across the country. What is the situation here in washington and how close are you to reaching the goal . Were delighted the teen preg nanny rate is at the lowest level in years, 49. 4 pregnancies per 1,000 girls 15 to 19 well on the way to reaching the captain. Double dinl pregnancy rate isnt good enough for the capital and we would like to reduce teen pregnancy even more. What do you think has been the key in getting the numbers down as far as they are.

Separate from the plan the task for...
